Last year my husband spotted our neighbour's empty car reversing out of the driveway and stood holding it for 15 minutes to stop it rolling across a busy road.<br /> When the neighbour eventually appeared, there was no thank you, only a terse "I was in the middle of an email"....... No wonder it was trying escape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1815163 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 15:33:14 +0000 pil 1815163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops.<br /> Not the same thing, but you can laugh at me too. I broke down and turned on the air conditioning yesterday (for the dogs) - and didn't discover until returning from work that I hadn't closed a bedroom window or the sliding door to the screened in porch. Doh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1815000 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 22:34:59 +0000 Sal 1815000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it is only funny because there was no damage, especially to people. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have been a little distracted lately so this possibly explains it but there are some things you need to pay attention to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814934 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 18:10:45 +0000 L'Abeille 1814934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this brings back memories. Not once but twice as a small child I was in the back seat when the driverless car rolled backward down a steep driveway, eventually coming to rest against the opposite kerb. To be followed by years of dreams in which I crawled into the driver's seat and tried to steer/drive the car, generally all over town in my dreams.</p> <p>Glad there was no significant damage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814842 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:58:47 +0000 JAileen 1814842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! I'm glad no one was hurt.

Lucky you. Glad this story has a happy ending. So now we can laugh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814813 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:01:06 +0000 Suz 1814813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! So glad no one was hurt and everyone is laughing. This sounds like something I could easily do in winter when I wake up half asleep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814806 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 13:19:41 +0000 cindysmith 1814806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this totally sounds like something that would happen around here. Except we would have had major property damage and serious injuries. Glad everyone and everything is relatively unscathed there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814727 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 05:40:11 +0000 rachylou 1814727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear! That's a bit scarring, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814701 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 02:06:58 +0000 Carole 1814701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh!!! Scary, huh?! I remember something similar when my kids were in their car seats and the car was not quite in park and it seemed to accelerate in reverse and In a panic I'm running backwards to catch my car before disaster struck....so lucky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814699 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 01:47:36 +0000 anne 1814699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! Embarrassing but a good outcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laugh-at-my-expense#post-1814694 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 01:37:54 +0000 Sal 1814694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning I went to the gym at six as usual for a Monday. &nbsp;I got home and was about to get undressed for a shower when there was a knock on my door from a neighbour.</p> <p>"Did you want your car back? " he said pointing across the road.</p> <p>My car was on the grass verge across the road, at right angles to the road, leaning up against a pole.</p> <p>I realised that I must have not put the hand brake on, and my car slowly reversed down my driveway, across the footpath, across the road and up the other side. &nbsp;</p> <p>Luckily:</p> <p>1) No-one was hurt. &nbsp;While it would have been slow speed it could have easily hit a pedestrian or car or bike as there would have been no noise.</p> <p>2) Damage is very minimal.</p> <p>3) My neighbour did not have his phone on him or it would be all over Facebook and he is very well known with lots of contacts. &nbsp;He is a great guy.</p> <p>I did provide my neighbours with a big laugh for the morning and I chuckle about them coming across the car in such a position. &nbsp;I am back home now and the very nice car parked across the street now does not realise how much at risk they are.... </p>
